A peek into Keston's room...

I just spent a few hours sifting through Keston's excess and cleaning her room. Little girls sure are messy! All her toys are in baskets on a shelf on the opposite wall, it isn't quite as pristine as this shot would lead you to believe. (Oh well).

The painting behind Keston's bed fits her perfectly. I spotted it at Goodwill a while back and brought it home without a second thought. She loves deer and she is enamored with France and the Eiffel Tower, so the little French girl was fitting. The colors were meant for her room. The clothes-pin business on the wall has been up since she was a baby, and I just change the scrapbook pages every once in a while. It always has the page with the picture of Keston and her big sister, Caidee (3rd from left, click to enlarge the photo). The nightstand was a find at a local kid's consignment store, and the throw pillow was made by me. Just how I like it, sweet and simple. Though I admit, this isn't the typical state of her room. :)

Whenever I deep clean a room, I almost always add a little bouquet. In this case, it's a few clippings from my spring garden set on Keston's night stand. Sometimes it's a bunch of daffodils from the supermarket or whatever is running cheap at Trader Joe's. I need motivation to get the big jobs done!

What a nice room! I love the stories behind the finds. I always add a bouquet after cleaning a room, too (it's just rare that I clean that well!). Thanks for visiting my blog! The song is from a (German?) fairy tale called "The Gunnywulf." A little girl sings it as she picks flowers, wandering into the forbidden jungle. It's got a creepy tune, and has stuck in my head since childhood.

I'm Shawn...

I love my life! I have three zippy kids, an amazing husband, and charming friends and family. I strive to be like the Proverbs 31 woman, but could use a whole lot of improvement. :) I love helping people meet their health and financial goals as an AdvoCare advisor! (And to keep it real... there's probably a big pile of laundry needing to be folded and crumbs on the floor, but I do love my life!)
